The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 178 Jerky ([-])

Su Yunduo knew very well in his heart that the so-called founding of the clan on New Year's Eve was just a formality, what Su Chengzhi expected more was to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan.

Lu Jinkang sent the pattern of the jade pendant back to the capital at the beginning of the month, and the Su family in the capital may have already taken action.

To be honest, Su Yunduo is not willing to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. The big family may bring them many benefits, but which big family has no internal friction and does not lean on each other, I am afraid that the result of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan is, They can no longer live such a peaceful life now, but Su Yunduo knows very well in her heart that she is powerless to stop the development of the situation.

The days passed day by day, and it was the fifth day of August in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow is the day of the provincial examination. Su Chengzhi will stay in the Gongyuan for nine consecutive days.

In the past few days, Su Yunduo has been busy almost all day preparing the ingredients and clothes for Su Chengzhi to bring to the country test.

Clothes were prepared long ago, including the four treasures of the study.

The main thing Su Yunduo has to prepare these days is to eat.

The vegetables were dehydrated in Geshan Village. Su Yunduo specially took some out and brewed them in boiling water to try them. Although the effect was not as good as the dehydrated vegetables in the previous life, they were already quite good, at least they were delicious in the mouth.

When they came to Fucheng, they brought some bacon sausages, but Su Yunduo didn't intend to let Su Chengzhi bring bacon sausages to the examination room, after all, the taste of bacon sausages after summer is not good.

She specially asked Tietou to go to the street to buy fresh pork, and made the meat into jerky on the last day.

The pork cut into small strips is marinated and boiled, which is very delicious. The cooked pork strips are slowly roasted on a special wire mesh over a fire to make the jerky, which is both chewy and delicious.

"Miss Su, the jerky you made is really fragrant and delicious!" Zisu, who helped Su Yunduo light the fire in the small kitchen, tasted the jerky that Su Yunduo stuffed into his mouth, and swallowed it with his tongue if he thought it was delicious. Stunned, he gave Su Yunduo a thumbs up in admiration.

Su Yunduo pursed her lips and smiled, it would be even more delicious if there were peppers from her previous life made into spicy jerky.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help swallowing, chili, she hasn't eaten it for a long time, and the only person who wants to eat spicy here is Zhuyu.

Compared with the pure spiciness of chili, the spiciness of cornel is really not the same, it is far behind!
I don’t know if I will have the chance to taste all kinds of delicacies made with chili again in this life, I really want to eat boiled pork slices, I really want to eat spicy chicken!

Sigh, don't even think about it, the more you think about it, the more you want to eat it, your saliva is about to flow out!
Su Yunduo shook her head, temporarily put aside the pepper in her mind, and continued to concentrate on making her jerky.

"Wow, what are you doing, you can smell the fragrance from afar!" An abrupt voice broke the tranquility of the small kitchen.

Su Yunduo looked back, but saw that Jiu'er had come behind him, looking at the meat sticks roasting on the barbed wire. Su Yunduo couldn't help but think of the little milk dog at home with his straight eyes.

Of course, the Su family's little milk dog has been raised for more than half a year, and now it is no longer a little milk dog.

Su Yunduo pursed his lips and smiled, handed some baked jerky to Jiu'er to taste, looked past Jiu'er to the open door of the small kitchen, and met Lu Jinkang's cold eyes.

Su Yunduo paused for a while and then showed a smile, picked up the bowl of dried meat on the stove and handed it to Lu Jinkang: "Mr. Lu, do you want to try some?"

Su Yunduo didn't expect that Lu Jinkang would come here today. Since the day before Baiyun Academy left, Lu Jinkang hadn't appeared in the other courtyard, but their father and daughter's life in the other courtyard was taken care of very carefully.

Although Su Yunduo bought the meat for Tietou at her own expense, and she also prepared it for Su Chengzhi's rural examination, but now he lives in another courtyard and uses his kitchen. It is also appropriate to serve all the jerky.

Today's Lu Jinkang does not seem to be as difficult to get close to as in the past, perhaps because he was attracted by Su Yunduo's jerky. In short, both Jiu'er and Zisu were very surprised that Lu Jinkang not only took the bowl Su Yunduo handed him, Moreover, he took a piece of jerky and looked at it for a while, then put it in his mouth to chew and taste slowly.

Su Yunduo has known Lu Jinkang for nearly a year, and she didn't realize that Lu Jinkang had never eaten food other than Jiu'er personally delivered to him. At this moment, she naturally didn't understand why Jiu'er and Zisu were so surprised, and only stared at Lu Jin with burning eyes. Kang, even she herself didn't know that she looked like a child who wanted to be praised by her parents.

Looking at Su Yunduo who rarely showed his innocent appearance, Lu Jinkang's heart skipped a beat, his eyelids drooped slightly to avoid Su Yunduo's gaze, and he acted like he was savoring it carefully.

After a while, Fang raised his eyelids and looked at Su Yunduo with cold eyes. Lu Jinkang showed a rare smile, nodded and praised: "It tastes good!"

The taste of jerky is really delicious. Lu Jinkang didn't eat much, but he was very interested in making jerky. Putting down the bowl in his hand, he stretched his head to look at the barbed wire in front of Su Yunduo, and put it on the stove to cook it. Good but not yet baked strips of meat asked: "How long does it take for this jerky to go from start to finish? How long can the finished jerky be stored?"

Although Su Yunduo didn't understand why Lu Jinkang asked these questions, he explained them one by one. Lu Jinkang nodded thoughtfully while listening.

When Su Yunduo turned around and continued to bake, Lu Jinkang asked another question: "If you want to bake, why cook it first?"

Su Yunduo said with a smile: "Boiling the meat first can make the jerky less sticky and more flavorful."

Lu Jinkang watched Su Yunduo roasting the jerky thoughtfully, and then took a strip of meat from another bowl to taste carefully, but his eyes lit up: "Is there cornel in this jerky?"

Su Yunduo looked up and saw that what Lu Jinkang was holding in his hand happened to be meat strips with a little spicy flavor added with cornel: "That's right, this one has some cornel added, which is slightly spicy."

"This one is more delicious!" Lu Jinkang, who likes spicy food, took another one and chewed it, swallowing the jerky in his mouth, full of praise for this spicy jerky.

The corner of Su Yunduo's mouth twitched slightly with his back turned to him, regretting that there was no pepper again.

Knowing that Su Yunduo had prepared a total of five flavors, Lu Jinkang simply tasted several different flavors of jerky, and then Kang made a request to Su Yunduo: "Miss Su, can you roast more jerky? Well, all the flavors are different. If you want some, make more spicy and five-flavored ones. If possible, I will ask the housekeeper to bring the meat."

Although Su Yunduo was kind to Lu Jinkang in the first aid, Lu Jinkang's intentional or unintentional help to the Su family far surpassed Su Yunduo's first aid to him that day, so Su Yunduo had long wanted to repay Lu Jinkang, not to mention that this should be Lu Jinkang's first time speaking personally. Making a request to Su Yunduo, faced with such an opportunity, Su Yunduo naturally wished for it, and she even thought about it more thoughtfully.

"Of course it is possible, but I'm afraid it won't work today. I have to prepare the ingredients for my father to take to the examination room." Su Yunduo replied with a smile while putting the last net of roasted dried meat in a bowl.
